TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai e-visa website is currently undergoing an upgrade, which has caused a variety of issues for users. Many applicants are experiencing problems while trying to upload passport photos, with reports of the system rejecting images or causing errors during the process. Some users are questioning whether applications can be made from within Thailand and sharing their frustrations regarding changes in visa dates upon submission. Overall, the upgrade appears to be creating significant technical difficulties for applicants.

Great! The info is there. But it is not yet implemented into the actual visa application forms. But can only be a very short time now.
